Magical Mafia

          The next morning, after the group had returned from the future, Sentoki escorted Tsuna to school like always. Tsuna stayed close to the raven and he sighed softly. The brunette blinked a few times in surprise and had to hide his laughter as they passed a now blond Hibari at the school gates. Sentoki simply grinned in victory and chuckled. “I did warn him… well his future self at least…” he commented quietly.

          Tsuna chuckled and had to calm himself before they got caught. “Poor Hibari though. He doesn’t know why he is being pranked though. Nor does he really know by whom.” He said as Sentoki shrugged. The boys entered their classroom, earning shocked looks from the teacher and students.

          The day went by as normal, long and boring. Sentoki and Tsuna ate lunch by themselves on the roof of the school, the others let the two have some time to themselves, though Gokudera had to drag a loudly protesting Ryohei by the collar. “So Sentoki, about these “tests”, do you have any idea of who the Arcobaleno are?” Tsuna asked as he picked up his chopsticks.

          Sentoki hummed softly and sighed. “There is Reborn, who is the sun, Colonello, who is rain, Lal who’s a failed Arcobaleno. We’ve met Skull who I am assuming is Cloud. I know Verde is lightning. I assume Mammon is Mist… I don’t know about Sky or Storm though.” He replied with a soft sigh.

          Tsuna tilted his head in thought. “I-pin’s Master… He’s like Reborn from what I-pin has told me. Only difference is, his clothes, fighting style, and his pacifier thing is red instead of yellow… So he may be storm… That still leaves Sky.” He murmured with a sigh as well.

          Sentoki smiled at him and leaned against Tsuna’s side. Tsuna blushed and shifted closer as he sighed again, this time in contentment. The brunette leaned against his boyfriend and drifted off. Hibari walked by and arched a brow but shockingly let them be, even as the bell rang to signal the end of lunch.

          Sentoki nodded to the prefect and drifted off as well, the three young adults on the roof enjoyed the warm and sunny day. As Sentoki and Tsuna slept, Hibari kept an eye on their surroundings, silently protecting the two asleep. Hi-bird, Hibari’s pet bird he had tamed, fluttered down to them and settled on Tsuna’s lap.

          Reborn popped up next to Hibari and arched a brow at the scene. He snapped a couple photos. He nodded to Hibari and the teen arched a brow. The mini-hitman felt his pacifier glow and he knew the other Arcobaleno were starting to gather in Namimori.

          Later, when the school day ended, Sentoki woke and noticed the other guardians had sat down around them in  a circle, minus Chrome and Hibari. He blushed and noticed the bird in Tsuna’s lap and he arched a brow. Tsuna slowly woke and he looked around in confusion. The brunette flushed and shifted as Hi-bird flew off.

          Takashi grinned at them and blinked as Tsuna was pushed down to the ground by a baby Lal. “Always keep your back protected! Reborn! What the hell have you been teaching him?!” she ranted, gaining startled laughter from Sentoki, the future Lal had said the same exact thing. Lal eyed the green-eyed teen with a stink eye and she shook her head. “I am the judge for the Arcobaleno trials. I am here to make sure the idiots do as they’ve been told.” She informed them as Colonello landed on Tsuna.

          “My test is first, Kora! Meet me on Namimori Mountain tomorrow morning, Kora!” the blond baby told them as Lal attacked his back, starting a tussle between them.

          Reborn rolled his eyes with a huff. “That’s normal for them. Colonello was Lal’s first student while they were in the CONSUMBIN.” He told the teens as they left the school.

          The group went to Sentoki’s shop, which had become something of a gathering point for the Vongola tenth gen. Orochi greeted them at the door as he pounced on his son. “Sentoki~ You’re mean!! You left without giving me any details!” he started to wail but the man was shut up by Severus.

          “Shut it Mutt. You’re being nosy and obnoxious. How him and Tsuna ended up together is none of your business! That be the same as us telling them our sordid details.” Severus stated with a slight smirk, earning a startled and shocked look from Sentoki who was also a bright red.

          Sentoki sighed and went to the back to get cakes for everyone. “Hey, why don’t you guys stay for dinner? I was planning on having Italian tonight.” He offered. Gokudera beamed and nodded eagerly as the other teens let their parents know they were spending the night with friends.

          Orochi looked at his son in confusion. “Italian? But why? I thought Wednesdays were Chinese?” the man asked, sulking, earning a kick in the shins from Severus. “Behave mutt.”

          Sentoki chuckled softly. “Because there are two Italians in the room, who I bet have not had a decent Italian meal since leaving Italy.” He commented, startling Gokudera and Reborn a bit. Sentoki stood to start cooking, heading for the kitchen. “Oh and dad? No teasing my boyfriend!” he scolded, earning a pout from said man.

          About an hour later, Sentoki had a full Italian meal on the table, complete with fresh Italian bread. Reborn and the others stared at the table in surprise. “Tsuna, you’d best take care of Sentoki, cause if I wasn’t curse, I’d be going for him myself.” He the cursed hitman declared after the first bite, making Tsuna flush.

          Sentoki shifted shyly and grinned sheepishly at the praise. He noticed Gokudera and sparkles in his eyes and he also had tears in them. The meal was devoured within minutes and Sentoki packaged the rest of what was there. “Take this with you Gokudera, when you leave.” He stated in that tone that meant you were supposed to obey.

          Gokudera grinned sheepishly and nodded. Sentoki led them all to the basement training room where they’d all be sleeping tonight and grinned as the room began to change to mimic the Vongola gardens. Reborn looked at him startled. “You are in a magical home Reborn. Welcome to my training room guys.” Sentoki said with a bright grin as he started to lay out the sleeping bags.

          The next morning, the group woke bright and early and after eating a hearty breakfast, cooked by Sentoki, they headed to Namimori Mountain where Colonello was waiting for them. Reborn was surprisingly already there, considering that the hitman had just left them not too long ago. “This is a battle between Tsunayoshi, and Gokudera. My test is to see your combat skills. No one else is to interfere.” The blond stated and the fight began.

          Sentoki watched the fight with the others and had to force himself not to interfere. Lal watched the raven haired teen with a confused look, making Reborn snigger slightly. “Sentoki is the true right hand, advisor and Tsuna’s boyfriend.” He stated with a smirk. Lal did a double take and stared at the tiny hitman.

“Yes Lal, that’s true. And oh, to let you know Reborn, I am going to need your blood for what you asked me to do.” Sentoki commented, almost nonchalantly. Reborn gave the teen a glare and huffed. “Brat.” He muttered, gaining a smug grin from Sentoki.

          After the first test, the rest of the week went by rather quickly, and so did the tests. It was the second to last day and Gokudera was walking by himself and he ran into some people wearing odd clothing. He arched a brow and chose to ignore them as much as possible… that is until one of them came up to him. “Excuse me young man. We are looking for someone.” The silver haired teen snorted and rolled his eyes. “Ain’t we all?” he asked, falling easily back into his street slang.

The blond haired man took a calming breath and he started over. “I apologize, I wasn’t clear enough. We’re looking for two people. One is a teen like yourself, the other is a grown up. Perhaps you know them? Harry Potter and Severus Snape?” he asked, sounding a bit hopeful.

Gokudera hid his sudden alarm and he glared at them, keeping up his old reckless persona. “’ry ol’ man. I dunno who the fuck yer talkin’ ‘bout. Been goin’ ta school and liven’ on me own.” The teen huffed in annoyance and grumbled under his breath.

          “Lucius, the Potter brat isn’t here! Why did the Dark Lord send us here?” the woman complained, sounding and looking a tad crazy. Gokudera started to edge away from the group, his danger senses/alarms going wild.

          The blond, now named Lucius, huffed and turned to her. “Bellatrix, we came here because the Dark Lord sent us. We can’t find the brat in London or in Brittan at all, so he has to be somewhere.” Gokudera took the chance and fled, heading in the direction of the school, not being stupid enough to lead them to Sentoki’s shop or to Tsuna’s.

Once at the school, Gokudera gave Sentoki a call, unfortunately getting nothing but voicemail. “Damn… now how else am I supposed to get in touch with him?!” he mumbled quietly as he sent a text to his friend and fellow guardian. The teen went the long way around and coincidently ran into Tsuna and Reborn on the way. “Jyuudime! Reborn! Thank Kami!” he sighed in relief and told them what happened.

Tsuna panicked and chewed his lip. “Sentoki is in his shop, preparing to open tomorrow…” he murmured and the group of three headed for the shop, taking the long route. Once there, Tsuna led Gokudera to the back door and let them into the shop. “Sen, Sen! Where are you?!” he called out loudly, sounding slightly panicked.

Sentoki came rushing from the kitchen, covered in flower, having had dropped the measuring cup on himself as Tsuna had shouted. “Tsu?! What is it?” he asked in worry as Orochi came out from the office when he heard the confusion and he looked at the three teens in confusion.

          Gokudera shifted and took a calming breath. “I did try to call you Sen, and I left a text… but, as I was walking home after that hike, I ran into a really odd group of people. While that would not be enough to be alarming, they were dressed oddly, like they didn’t understand our fashion. What really alarmed me was the fact they asked if I knew you and Snape-san. I obviously fell back into my street behavior and slang and told them I didn’t.” he reported and the two wizards looked at each other, horrified looks on their faces.

Sentoki looked worried and upset as he took a calming breath. “Damn… He’s getting close! Shit…” he mumbled, actually cussing and shocking Tsuna a bit. “How’d he find out about this place?” he asked no one in particular, mostly frustrated and worried.

Gokudera looked at his friend in worry and bit his lip. “They only mentioned two names. One was Lucius and the other was Bella… something…” he added, not knowing the other names of the people in the group. Sentoki visibly jumped and looked troubled.

“Oh shit… shit, shit, shit…” Sentoki murmured, visibly panicking a bit. “You two remember the Dark Nutter/ mad-man I told you about?” he asked, gaining nods from the three. Sentoki took a calming breath before he continued. “Well, that mand man is Dark and obviously dangerous. Those you ran into are called Death Eaters. They are HIS followers. The next time you run into someone oddly dressed, like them, run, fast and as far as you can! They love to torture and they absolutely HATE muggles, people without magic.” He explained as Orochi ran to the potions’ lab to explain things to Severus.

          Tsuna felt ill as Gokudera paled and looked absolutely pissed. “I mean it! Do not engage them in a fight. You think Byakuran is bad? Tom Riddle is 100 times worse. At least Byakuran is somewhat fair. Tom, well, he will kill you outright after torturing you  into insanity to where you beg for death. Sometimes it will last for days.” Sentoki told them as he took deep breaths to calm down. Reborn was silent through all of this, of course he had heard of the man while on a mission and even he had stayed as far from him as possible.

          Severus and Orochi came up from the labs at that point, Severus looking worried. “Sentoki… I know you boys are involved in the Mafia. While I don’t agree with it, I do understand your reasons.” The potion’s master said as he grabbed a bottle of fire whisky. “What are we going to do about the big blond and nutcase?” he asked after he took a deep swig of the potent alcoholic drink.

          Tsuna and Gokudera were silent through this, Reborn eyeing the alcohol longingly, silently cursing being cursed the way he was and wishing he was in his adult body. Sentoki sighed softly and shook his head. “I don’t know… The first time Rodukuro contacted me in my mind, he said he had found a Soul Shard in my mind… thankfully he took care of it.” He said with a sigh, gaining ill looks from Severus and Orochi and confused looks from Tsuna, Gokudera and Reborn.

          Tsuna shifted and looked at them. “I take it that a Soul Shard thing isn’t a good thing…?” he asked, looking as confused as he felt.

          Sentoki sighed as Severus shook his head no. “No Tsuna, it isn’t. A Soul Shard is in our world called a Horcrux. They are the darkest bit of magic out there that can be found. A Horcrux is created by murdering someone in cold blood, your soul splits at the crude act and you then place that shard into an object. Doing this is supposedly supposed to ensure you will live on.” He explained, sounding as ill as he looked.

          As he listened, Sentoki grew more and more horrified and ill. “I had a piece of that Bastard in me?! I owe Mukuro big time for getting rid of it…” he ranted with a shudder. Sentoki felt like throwing up as he down ed his tea to calm his now rolling stomach.

          Gokudera and Tsuna looked just as ill, Reborn tugged his fedora down over his face, trying to hide the anger rolling off of him in waves. Someone had harmed his boy, they would pay. He had come to think of Sentoki as a Nephew or a Godson and he still had to pay the Dursleys back for harming his boy. He also thought of Tsuna as his as well, and woe be to anyone who harmed HIS boys.

          Tsuna shifted a bit nervously at feeling Reborn’s rage, quite glad that the hitman was on their side. He looked at Gokudera with a soft sigh. “I’d like to learn more about the magical world and more about everything.” The silverette said before Tsuna could.

          Tsuna nodded in agreement and took a deep breath. “I want to know more about it as well. That way I can help and protect Sentoki better.” His voice had stubbornness and determination about it and his eyes had turned a faint orange color. Reborn stared at Tsuna in surprise as Sentoki blushed.

          Orochi grinned and chuckled. “It is a good thing for the teachers at Hogwarts you guys did not meet there.” He teased with a grin, changing the mood, earning a huff and glare from a blushing Sentoki.
